Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!"

Subject: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 9:46 am

OK guys, here we go, the fourth assignment !

After the first couple of assignments, based on "Sims around the world", we're going in totally other directions from now on !!

Did you ever think of becoming a star ?? Did you ever identified yourself with a star ??
I think we all have in some way Smile

This brought us to the idea of this challenge.

At first we were thinking about a Lady GaGa theme, but we decided to "expand" it some more, also to give you some more choice and to let those creative juices of yours running !! Smile

So what's the plan, what are these two up to this time, you ask yourself ??

We want you to create a popstar / rockstar !! A Sim popstar celebrity !!

* You can chose any pop genre you like, to create your popstar.
* You may create your own popstar, based on your own creativity.
* You may create a popstar based on someone (like for instance Lady GaGa).
* You may create a popstar based on a male celebrity popstar (like a female Billy Idol sim).
* You may have the Sim be a lookalike of the "real" popstar, but it is NOT a requirement !!

For your entry we need the following:
* A popstar / rockstar Simmeh and you HAVE TO create a new female Sim for this.
* Pics, four pics this time (CAS, Head shot & 2 in game shots)

For the in game shots, please feel free to present / showcase your Simmeh, to help with your portrayal of your entry.
However NO editing and no photoshopping allowed !!

Miss L made some example pics of what we have in mind. She based the Simmeh on Cyndi Lauper.
Doesn't she just look like the popstar ?? Awesome job Miss L !!

Hey... what about a pornstar? For example Traci Lords begun her career as a pornstar and then moved to another artistic areas.

She sings with Manic Street Preachers on this album I can't remember.

I wants to make a pornstar Sad...

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 10:47 am

Eeeeeeeee...I tolds you it would be awesome.

Sergio...I dont even know how to answer that.

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:13 am

Like discussed before, POPSTAR it is (without the "N") Razz

Anyways you got the female sim part right this time Sergio !! Big smile

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:20 am

Hehehe yes I did.

But now seriously I want to ask/suggest something. Please read:

You, most likely, create a new topic where people will post their entrances. I want to ask you and people that they don't comments each other's entrances on the same topic. I want to ask for the topic to be "clean" without all the warm but sometimes annoying comments that make the topics so hard to see.

So, in that way, I suggest 2 topics, one for the assignement&scores and other for our comments.

What do you think?

Guest

I dont mind ..if it keeps you happy sergio...i will chat on another thread...maybe keep this one for chatting and make a new one for entries...whatever i am easy going... face hug

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:37 am

We did that before, it didn't work as intended, as in the end the contestants want to respond to what they see and I think it's only natural to do that in one thread.
It adds to the "we" feeling in the competition.

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:40 am

I agree.

We had tried seperating things before and then we had issues with aspects of challenges being missed and what have you. Seemed better to keep things in the one topic.

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:44 am

But like angie said, people not only comment, they chat! I'm a sinner too!

But it's hard to see and compare entries if they are dispersed over 3-4 pages topics.

That's the only reason.

Guest

i have a small suggestion.....in the family ties comp i use the top 3 posts to put entries scores and assignments in.....maybe reserving these posts will make it easier to compare etc like sergio would like and also keeps the rest open for chatting or commenting...only a suggestion... hiho

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 11:58 am

When I'm comparing (or judging) pics or entries, I download all the pics, so I'm able to have a real good look at them (and compare them) from my Laptop and not get distracted by anything.
I think the commenting and chatting is part of the competition and the bonding Smile

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 12:03 pm

Im loving this assignment already, Yay to the judges for thinking of such an awesome assignment. hiho

Guest

when i judge on f/ties i do the same...i download them all and view them properly... tis the only way i can get a good look at each one... hiho

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" March 31st 2011, 2:13 pm

I am so glad that Im not a judge, I wouldnt be able to pick one winner, lol everyone would get a prize. Broomie cant make hard decisions. notlistening

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" April 1st 2011, 2:32 am

I know when I ran Miss Cstyles Simmette, I also would download all the pics to my desktop and scan them all to make sure they hit all the points. I also didn't read any comments from the other judge because I wanted to be 100% sure that I was not being biased based on another person's viewpoint.

A suggestion...maybe just open up a thread and with each pic submitted, put it in a separate thread and LOCK it from comments. Miss L and Eva both have the permission to do this, yet you could still keep the pictures on the other thread open for comments and such. This adds more work to the judges and may not be fair to ask this of them. And as mentioned...it's merely a suggestion. They HOST this contest and I have NOTHING to do with it, it's their rules and guidelines...however...I throughly enjoyed the participation with the pictures and others being able to view and comment. It does bring a certain closeness to the comp and I think gives all a chance to improve their pics. I, myself as a judge did not feel it was fair for me to comment on each entry persay until the actual judging and I did not.

I love this assignment. Smile

Can it be a Korean star? I don't know that much about American popstars.

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" April 1st 2011, 4:48 am

Any popstar you wish. Include an image of who you base it off, so we can judge you're entry properly Smile

Member Posts : 66 Thanks : 12 Join date : 2011-02-02

Oh my goodness, I'm so upset! Today my laptop crashed. Luckily, there's a spare laptop at home, but I won't be home to use it till after the deadline and the only computers I can use here are school ones. I'm sooo sad about this but I will definitely still be following along!

Member Posts : 95 Thanks : 11 Join date : 2011-02-19

Oh no jojo... Maybe you can ask for an extension. I'm sure Miss L or Eva will give one.

Jojo do you need an extension ?? Please let me know and how much time you think you need extra.

JK please post your entry pics in this thread. The pics will be in this thread and you all can comment on them, just like before. But I'll but up a separate thread, with the entry pics for viewing and comparing the pics ;)

Here is my entry for the competition.
This is Savannah Nebraska, ever since she can remember she's lived to sing whether it be to her teddy bear or family, a tune was never far from her lips. Her Idol is Hannah Montanna.

Awesome entry broomie!

An extension would be amazing but it would be a kind of long one (till April 19) and I would feel awful holding everyone up that long:(

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" April 2nd 2011, 12:59 pm

Why thank you JoJo thats very kind of you to say so, Im sure they wouldnt mind giving you an extension seeing as your lappie crashed. Mine did that last week and it took me 4 days and one very long phone call to a friend to get things sorted out, and I nearly missed out on angie's competition "Family Ties" but angie very kindly extended the deadline to tomorrow so I was very thankful for that.
Anyways I do hope that you get things sorted out and can enter into this assignment. Smile

Subject: Re: Assignment 4: "Mum, I'm gonna be a STAR!" April 2nd 2011, 4:50 pm

This is Rickie Lee Jones, pop/jazz/folk/etc singer but she is not mainstream.
My favourite album from her is Pop Pop (1991).
If you don't know who she is I recomend listening and give it a try.
